Anyone else on preventative treatment? I’m on Kadcyla and Tamoxifen I’ve been told I have to take this for 10 years. The side effects are awful Disappointed I’m part way through Kadcyla.

No one ever mentioned preventative treatment to me after surgery I really thought I had done it all the chemo the op everything.

Will this ever be over? I can’t sleep I’m mentally exhausted and feel totally alone. I’m not the person I was where is the help when having to deal with life after breast cancer and now it’s going to be my first mammogram soon more anxiety.

Disappointed relieved 

  • Hi  and welcome to the cancer chat group.

    I’m sorry to read of the treatment challenges you are having and how this is making you feel. I have had a different cancer and treatment, so unfortunately I can’t help personally with your questions.   I’d recommend also making your post in the breast cancer group, where I see you’re already a member.

    There may be others on the same treatment who will see your post here in this chat group and can respond, but you’ll definitely be able to connect with others in the breast group who are on the same treatment who will be able to share their experiences.

    We also have a special thread in this chat group where others who are having difficulties sleeping chat and the link is here

    Awake and Up All Night

    I hope this might help a little, and you get some replies today.
